Knitting smooth, even stitches is faster, easier and more comfortable than ever. Fly through knits, purls, ribbing and more with this unique knitting style.
How Knitting Works
Meet your instructor, Bruce Weinstein! Class begins with an overview of basic knitting anatomy, as Bruce explains why it’s so important to know which way your stitches face. You’ll explore this anatomy further using garter stitch, before tackling some practical exercises you can use to increase your knitting speed.
Combo Knitting Basics
Combination knitting will combine your normal style of making knits with a totally different way of making purl stitches. Bruce teaches you how to work a knit stitch in the Continental style and moves on to the new method for making purls. This lessons ends with a fun challenge: blindfolded knitting.
Ribbing
With basic knit and purl stitches in your back pocket, it’s time to put them together for three gorgeous types of ribbing. Start with basic ribbing, move on to the shaker rib and finish this lesson with ribbing worked in the round.
Ribbed Cable Cowl Project
Ready to apply your new skills to a project? Bruce teaches you how to check your gauge and determine if a pattern has combination-knitting potential. Then it’s time to cast on for a fun zippered cowl project! Bruce takes you from cast-on to bind-off and shows you how to install your zipper.
Increases
Think you’ve seen it all? Don’t forget shaping! Learn how to create a neutral, no-slant increase to start things off; it creates a subtle but eye-catching purl bump in your work. For additional shaping options, Bruce also guides you through both left- and right-leaning increases.
Decreases
Increases are just half of the shaping equation! Bruce rounds things out with decreases worked in both Continental and combination. Things begin with a handy left-slanting decrease and move on to a few that slant right. You’ll even get a chance to practice your new shaping skills with Bruce’s beautiful Herringbone Scarf project.
